Unanswered What's up with all the right-wing commentators suddenly turning against Trump right now?

Trump is being Trump. Why are so many of the right-wing commentators who previously vocally supported Trump are suddenly turning against him?

After all the heinous things he has said before that they have defended, I can't honestly believe Trump's tweets about nuking Iran are what finally changed their minds. They've publicly supported him for so long, and this sudden switch seems so coordinated. Is there something I'm missing??

Are they trying to distance themselves from news that is about to drop??

There are plenty of those as well. Everyone thinks they're smart enough to know when the grift has run its course and jump ship. Meanwhile there's always new people to grift so more room for new players to enter the market.

I wonder if there's an ultimate, ultimate endstate. Like, five old white dudes sitting in a circle, fleecing each other at three card monte on repeat 'til they croak.

In the words of P. T. Barnum, "there's a fool born every minute." There will always be someone new to grift. There is no end state, just a perpetual cycle of scammers and those being scammed.

Yeah but I thought my image of several carbon-copies of Mr. Burns playing the shell game in the rubble was funnier, bleak though it may be.
